Man r u guys rich or something? wow I am envious of you to be able to spend the money to travel to Toronto and pay the hotel prices there to see the game. Good on ya hope it is a great game for the Hawks and your payment is fullfilled.

I've been in Toronto since Monday. Awesome city. Just got back from a side trip over to Montreal. Also a very cool city. Wasn't able to meet up with the guys. But I did track down good ol' BFS at the tail end of tonight. Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. GO HAWKS!

The beer here is very good but they dont know how to do spirits. Cannot get a decent martini. Drinks are small and expensive. Thx to mystermatt for buying me the house special which was something like whiskey, applejuice, and maple syrup with cranberries. Should come with a side of pancakes.

You sure it's Matt, could be John Schneider out slumming

There's what I used to know, what I think I know, and what I know I know. And they all get lost in the haze sometimes.

Here's a quick update: it turns out that the team is staying in the same hotel as I. Last night I ran into a bunch of their corporate friends, who invited me to hang a bit and have a drink. That was neat, but when a certain coach popped in to say hi, shit got real. I'll drop names later, but I just want to also point out that I got to hold Marshawn's shoes for today. Very surreal.

This is very true. When I was knocking Canadian beer, I wasn't so much knocking the beer itself. But the selection at the average bar here. You'll find some bars with good craft beers on tap. Just seems a lot less common than in Seattle, where craft beers are found everywhere.
